PCIe2 to S-RIO2 Eval Platform Quick Start Guide 3
April 20, 2015
Integrated Device Technology, Inc.
Formal Status
Out-of-the-box Configuration Requires Connection to Host PC
The evaluation platform is configured to operate connected in a PCI Express slot. It will not work stand-alone unless the board
configuration is changed. For more information about the stand-alone configuration, see the
PCIe2 to S-RIO2 Evaluation
Platform User Manual
.
Power Supply Requirement
When the platform is plugged into a host computer, it does not require an external power supply. When used without an AMC
module plugged into the platform, the platform will draw about 1 Amp on the computer 12V rail.
If an AMC module is used, the current draw may be excessive for the host PC. In this condition, an external supply should be
used (for more information, see the
PCIe2 to S-RIO2 Evaluation Platform User Manual
).
LED Status
1. With the PC power off, plug the evaluation platform into a PCIe slot in the PC.
2. Turn the PC on.
• The greed LED, (D18), should be ON and steady. This indicates the PC is supplying 12V.
• The blue LED, (D21) should be ON and steady. This indicates the on-board voltages are correct and the devices are
out-of-reset.
